Melting Ice does not make the volume increase!

It does if it is sitting on land when it melts. The real point is, this alarm is over an unlikely event as far as 1000 years in the future. What a crisis.

The good news is that with enough melting and sea rise, the ABC studios will be submerged.

But killing millions of babies doesn’t bother them.

Just can't figure out a tax angle yet.

This applies to ice that is floating freely in the ocean, or an ice cube in a glass. The ice shelf is, or part of them are, but the glaciers that feed into the ice shelf are not. These are flowing off the land and into the sea. So, depending on a lot of other factors, they might add to sea rise.

One factor is the water cycle. If we experience global warming, more water becomes vapor and may wind up as snow on the Antarctic, or rain over Africa. Lets hope for warming!

Sounds like global warming will create more arable land for growing crops.

Because it was proclaimed by an electrical engineer?

Buried below the headline in the article, there is agreement with Revkin:

But the researchers said that even though such a rise could not be stopped, it is still several centuries off, and potentially up to 1,000 years away.

A thousand years... OMG it's like tomorrow... /s

Liberals are playing it a little bit smarter. Al Gore and friends were predicting ‘the end’ for 2016... now that looks a ‘whole lot silly’...

If dems want to steal our money and pretend it for a ‘the world’s gonna end’ stunt - putting the scary part out 86 years is a better tactic. Creepy - evil - but more effective.

For some reason, I get the feeling that a bunch of research grants are running out soon.

NY and Miami underwater. What’s the down side in this article?

The downside is an unprecedented disaster: all those Lib fools move to Flyover Country, screwing us forever.

If there was a way to nail the rats to the ground we’d be safe.

These anti-science LIB idiots are insufferable. Unfortunately, there are enough brain-dead LIB/DIM morons who eat-up this crap.

In Antarctica it’s almost Winter so though don’t have to worry about melting ice again for awhile.
